Sop Ruak, the Golden Triangle, is the world-famous place where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet.

Asian elephants have roamed the Golden Triangle’s misty jungles for centuries. Connect with these gentle giants in their natural habitat when you embark on a bareback elephant trek to watch the sun rise over the Laos mountains and the Burmese plains.

During this extraordinary journey, available only through Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, you’ll climb atop a majestic Asian elephant before dawn and ride to Camp Peak to welcome the day.

A chorus of birds chirp the soundtrack to your expedition, as you discover the power, strength, warmth and intelligence that has earned elephants a sacred post in Thai culture.

When you reach the top, the Camp’s highest point, savour a fresh cup of coffee and take in the majestic Golden Triangle views before heading back down the hill to the elephant bathing pool. If you’re willing to get wet, join these gentle giants for a splash – it’s playtime!

Your accommodations in Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle are part of an all-inclusive package designed for active adults. The package includes round-trip airport transfer, meals, house wines and spirits, elephant trekking and a spa treatment.
